The uncertainties 

That will never be known

The connections

that never happen

that are best left alone

*

The safe bets well-played

That hit the ground running

Connections

that make it all happen

So the outcome is stunning

*

A connection exists

We do our best

For what makes sense

**

It can corrode

And short out

Ot we can help it stay clean

Like a strong flowing river

Or a glacier-fed stream

*

It can implode

Or explode

We can improve the scene

like a top-of-the-line

smooth-running machine

**

The uncertainties

That come to be known

The connections

that tend to happen

when truth starts to be shown

*

The fair bet you made

Now sweeter than honey

Good connections

make it all happen

and keep a strong world running

*

A connection exists

We do our best

For what makes sense
